Amendment of Munitions Supply Regulations. †

Regulation 47 of the Munitions Supply Regulations is repealed and the following regulation inserted in its stead:—

Leave for defence purposes.

“47. (1.) Leave of absence for the purpose of attending Naval, Military or Air Force training may be granted under the following conditions by the Manager in any year ending on the thirtieth day of June to an employee who is a member of the Defence Force:—

(a) For attendance for training of the employee’s unit or corps—with full pay for the minimum annual training required in the year of his unit or corps.

(b) For attendance at one school, class, or course of instruction in the year—with full pay for two days, and without pay for any additional period for which the employee’s attendance is required;

Provided that evidence of the necessity for such attendance shall be submitted with an employee’s application, and, at the conclusion of the camp, school, class, or course of instruction, the employee shall produce to the Manager a certificate of attendance thereat:

Provided also that, if it would not be in the public interest to grant leave of absence under this regulation to an employee for the purpose of attending a camp, school, class, or course of instruction of his own unit or corps, the Manager may grant in lieu leave of absence as prescribed by this regulation for the purpose of attending an equivalent camp, school, class, or course of instruction of another unit or corps.

“(2.) Leave of absence granted with pay under this regulation shall not be deducted from recreation leave.
